It’s barely past lunch by the time they can nestle properly into Rose’s couch, but it feels damn near dinner. Woolly and overcast, and milky with the threat of snow, and chilly -- enough to strand Rose in bed for a good half hour after waking up. (She’s never heard of someone’s toenails cracking from the cold before, but she’s never heard it was impossible either.) Not a great date weekend.
But perfect for grilled cheese and tomato soup, and blankets and pajamas, and the ceremonial bickering over channel selection. Okay, so maybe Rose watches too many miniseries and cooking show reruns -- but Pearl’s raging crush on 'How It’s Made' is just a drag. She’s in tragic need of informationals on good taste, in most areas except girlfriend selection.
“Baby, it’s stamps.” It’s tricky to make a gripe sound convincing when you’re lounging in someone’s lap. But Rose is a go-getter. Wiggling under the blanket, she turns to burrow her nose against Pearl’s midriff and sighs: warm and muffled. “When’s the last time you even used a stamp?”
